There are many types of dogs. We have used the Scout Dog in the past as have the NVA against us Specifically in Laos. Perhaps Ambush Master as well as I can attest to this. Scout dogs have been used to track and locate bad guys. In addition there are dogs trained to alert to munitions/explosives which cqan be used to "sniff" out caches as well as IUD's, OOOPS IED's.
We didn't need them in RVN since our indig could hear, see and smell as well as any dog I met.
There was a SCOUT dog school at Lenngries and a few got to attend as well as we also took a few on training exercises.
NO MOS!!!
What breed is the pooch on the right?
